Noe

“Rest”, through the Hebrew name Noah.

Noe belongs to the Hebrew Noah name family, associated with “rest”. It is the form used in Greek and Latin biblical tradition and also occurs as a Georgian masculine name. The biblical connection is to the figure who builds the ark in the flood narrative. The unaccented spelling Noe has a history of its own; the related French and Spanish form is Noé. A Latin reading of Noe is /ˈnoː.eː/, while French Noé is /nɔ.e/ and Spanish Noé /no.ˈe/. The shared family does not make all readings identical. The transition between the vowels can give the name a gentle, measured quality. If the biblical association matters to you, Noe offers that connection with an airy ending, while retaining a different written outline from Noah.

Etymology: Noe is a form of Noah in Greek and Latin biblical tradition, ultimately from Hebrew נֹחַ.
